This attractive two-bedroom Victorian terraced house sits in a highly desirable central Cambridge location on Grafton Street, offering over 900 sq ft of living space and a wealth of period character. Recently renovated, the property combines original features — fireplaces, high ceilings and sash windows — with an open-plan kitchen/dining room and a south-facing paved courtyard that brings light to the rear of the home.
Ideal for first-time buyers or professionals seeking a city-centre base, the house is chain-free and freehold, with good transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The layout provides comfortable living across multiple levels: a bright living room to the front, generous double bedrooms on the first floor and a bathroom with both bath and separate shower.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the terrace is on a small plot with a paved courtyard rather than a garden, and parking is limited to on-street resident permit bays. The property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation and the double glazing was installed before 2002, which may present future upgrade opportunities. Council Tax is in Band E and the area records a very high crime rate, facts that will influence running costs and security decisions.
Overall, this centrally located, newly renovated period home offers immediate move-in appeal and scope to improve energy performance and security to suit a long-term city dwelling or rental investment.
